Herb Crusted Roasted Pork Loin!

As the hostess of our Dinner Group, one of the requirements is to choose the evenings menu. Once the menu is established, the hostess then calls the other members of the group delegating courses for each member to bring.

So~o~o . . .
                               here's What's On The Menu!

Menu:

Herb Crusted Roasted Pork Loin

Risotto

Vegetable

Butterflake Dinner Rolls

Iced Tea & Water

Dessert

Coffee & Hot Tea

When the hostess makes the call for a vegetable, she doesn't always know what vegetable will make its way to the dinner table. For our dinner, our sweet member brought her delicious green bean casserole!

The same holds true when the call is made for a dessert. Our newest member brought a heavenly angel food cake topped with crushed pineapple and whipped cream icing! 

Perfectly light and refreshing to accompany our rich Dunkin'Decaf coffee and caffeine~free Rooibos Red Tea.

Since space in our petite dining area was already extended to include an extra guest, buffet ~style serving kept the tables clear for easy flowing conversation.
